    Turns out I'm impatient, if I wait until the next few Pokemon show up, the actual leader is a 1200CP Dragonair.

    So envious of people who have stable connections, went for an hours walk and I only got 100m added to my eggs, the wife had 4km. She only caught rattata and oddish as it is our local area, seems the farther away from home, the better the Pokemon are.

    Thieves (in the US) using Pokémon Go to lure and rob players at gunpoint

    Also, check out the way that the lady in the video horrifically mispronounces "Pokémon," she says "Poh-keh-mon" instead of "Pock-eh-mon." Looks like she's unaware that "Pokémon" is short for "Pocket Monsters," and you pronounce "pocket" as "pock-eht," not "poke-it." Seriously, who says things like, "I put my phone in my back "poke-it," or "Empty your poke-its." Pocket! The English spelling of Pokémon even deliberately places an accent mark over the "e" to tell people that the stress should fall on the second syllable, not the first. We don't pronounce words like café as "kaffer," or touché as "two-sher" etc. I personally would've Romanised it as "Pockemon," because everyone pronounces "Pocky" fairly correctly (you don't read it as "Pokey"), but alas, the official spelling is Pokémon.

    I think you're in the vast minority of westerners if you've been pronouncing it pockemon all this time for the past 20 years. Never heard anybody say that, not sure if you're even serious.

    The anime's English dub (and other media) has always pronounced it "Poh-keh-mon." So it's no surpirse that everyone (or vast majority) pronounces it that way.

    lets play game, how you or people pronounce it doesn't really matters.

    While walking home yesterday I saw a lure active at a nearby park and decided to walk there to check it out. It was quite dark and I was quite worry of getting robbed, saw a group of people there, few cars pull up, few cars drove away... catch a few pokemon and quickly walk off. Dont want to get robbed or bashed as I am alone. Wouldnt have even consider walking near the park in the dark previously.

    Nearly saw a benefit of POkemon Go yesterday, a rat-tailed teenager stopped dead in the middle of the road to catch a weedle and nearly got run over.

    It would've benefited the gene pool immensely!

    Poke'mon isn't really my thing, and I think if not used correctly this game can do a lot of harm. I'm not playing, and besides I generally only play one mobile game at a time, and at the moment its Marvel's Contest of Champions.
